<detail>
Upgrade Program for Brazilian Navy Lynx from MK-21 to MK-21A with added capabilites. Known in the Brazilian Navy as MK-11B
</detail>
<evidence>
Brazilian Navy, December 28, 2019 - The Lynx Aircraft Inspection and Acceptance Group of the Brazilian Navy signed on November 4 at the Leonardo Helicopters facility in Yeovil, UK, the certificate of compliance for the third modernized Lynx aircraft.

The Wild Lynx N-4005 conducted the UK factory acceptance test from October 30 to November 1. Arrival in Brazil was scheduled for early December. The final acceptance flights will be performed by the final user, the HA-1 Squadron in São Pedro da Aldeia, RJ.

The upgrade program foresees the modernization of eight Lynx helicopters and includes the replacement of the current engines for the LHTEC CTS800-4N, a Full Glass Cockpit compatible with night vision goggles (NGV) and the replacement of major avionics systems, providing the Navy a real operational increase in their capabilities.

The AH-11B, as is known in Brazilian service, will be operated aboard the Multi-Purpose Helicopter Carrier "Atlântico", the Multi-Purpose Dock Ship "Bahia" and as an organic aircraft of the future "Tamandaré Class" Ship.

<summary> The Brazilian KC-390 does not have REVO capability ingame -Probe and Drogue</summary>
</detail>The KC390 in game unit only have ferry and and reserve capability it has now been certified for Probe and Drogue Operations in Aircaft and Helicopters. </detail>
<evidence>
DECEMBER 1, 2019 The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) KC-390 is now enabled to perform F-5 Tiger II and A-1 (AMX) fighter flight refueling missions. Fuel transfer tests on day and night flights were conducted in the third quarter with FAB teams from Canoas (Wing 3) and Santa Maria (Wing 4) air bases.

By 2017, the KC-390 had conducted the first FAB fighter “dry contact” tests. In this type of operation the aircraft connect, but there is no fuel transfer.

Embraer’s multi-mission freighter, recently named C-390 Millennium, can refuel other aircraft in flight through two wing-mounted probes, delivering up to 1,500 liters of fuel per minute. At this rate you can replenish the F-5 and A-1M internal tanks in less than two minutes.

Using three extra tanks, the KC-390 can carry a total of 35 tons of fuel – the aircraft’s standard capacity is 23 tons. According to Embraer data, the aircraft is capable of performing aerial refueling operations at speeds between 220 km/h and 560 km/h at altitudes ranging from 610 meters to 9,750 m.</evidence>

Hi,

Hope this is the right way to do this: could you possibly update the DB so Sea Harrier can use AMRAAM? The weapons are loaded on HMS Invincible but not able to be put on the Harriers...
